HEARTY LENTIL & TOMATO SOUP
Thick, hearty, and full of plant-based protein, this vegan soup is supremely satisfying. Instead of cooking separately in plain water, the lentils simmer in a seasoned broth making each little legume burst with flavor. You'll need a large Dutch oven to make this large batch of soup, as this makes about 16 cups. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and lentils, and a good quality vegetable broth.
- Don't skimp on the spices: Spices are what give this soup its flavor, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount. The recipe calls for cumin, coriander, and paprika, but you can also add other spices that you like, such as chili powder, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Let the soup simmer for a while: The longer the soup simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer it for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a few toppings. Try adding a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or a few croutons.

This hearty lentil and tomato soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
